Early Friday morning, a Russian ballistic missile attack on Ukraine's capital Kyiv resulted in the tragic death of at least one person and left nine others injured, according to officials. The attack, which Moscow claimed was in retaliation for a Ukrainian strike on Russian soil using American-made weapons, caused significant damage to residential buildings, medical facilities, schools, and kindergartens in the city.
Ukraine's air force reported intercepting five Iskander short-range ballistic missiles aimed at Kyiv, with the attack causing disruptions to heating in hundreds of buildings and sparking fires in multiple districts. The city administration urged citizens to respond promptly to ballistic attack threats to seek shelter in a timely manner due to the urgency of the situation.
